  1. 1972 toyota corolla ke25 Japanese assembled sl coupe Bit of a summary of a ke25 project I brought on the 1st of April 2023 Rego on hold last wof 2004 Turbo beams swap had been started and heaps of new parts Was a very tidy car before the previous owner had started It in 2019 https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/89198-1972-toyota-corolla-sl/
  2. Discussion //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/50926-jordons-1974-procrastinated-ke20-discussion/ Thought i had started a build thread on here for this but couldn't seem to find it, anyway here's the story so far Started a few years ago now!I i was looking fora clean ke70 on a college budget when corolla prices were on the rise. My ladies brother had one of the nicest ke70s ive seen and thought i need one of those, came across this ke20 on tardme. didn't really grab my attention to start with but after seeing a few ke70s that had 'minimal' rust work required i decided to contact the seller of the ke20. Asking price was over $4,000.00 with spares included. I ended up paying 2k for the car on standard wheels, running the original 3k. 'fresh' panel and paint with all rust removed of course... uhhh young and dumb!! oh and no wof, reg, carpet, whole interior painted black, like everything rocking some jamex bucket seats. Drove it home and broke down on the wellington motorway, apparently they had fueled her up and the petrol gauge was stuffed so read nothing. Well actually it read nothing because they hadn't fueled her up. Dad got me some fuel and off we went. Next was the wof, went to vtnz and failed on a few things like front strut being welded, rust (huh wasn't it all removed?), high beam dash light not working, lowing blocks weren't aligned and neither were the headlights. Fixed all of this, because i didn't know anything about anything at the time i took it to a sparky i knew tofix the high beam light and align my headlights. $450.00 later i decided to do all the work myself on this. By the time i had this fixed the recheck date had lapsed, oh well. failed on high beam light again... fuck vtnz!! took it to local garage and put it through there. all good and allowed me to do some work experience to pay for it. So i was pretty broke at this point so just enjoyed driving it. Usual issues of not starting, over fueling, dizzy playing up etc etc. Over the next yearish i did small things like spray the dash parts black, buy a centre console, make carpet, spray the door cards grey, respray interior trim, match all the seat belts, buy hot wires, sell hotwires etc etc. Just small things that i thought were awesome but were just a waste of time. after that i bought a 5k and thankfully Aaron (club member) who sold it to me pretty much got it going in the car for me. real legend as i had no idea of what i was up to. that probably took 8 months to sort out. Joe (goat) sorted me out with some perfect fitment streets and the money i had from selling the hotwires bought me some tires... dumb size tires. Panels got stripped parts got painted and polished. Ke30 discs, calipers and backing plates were fitted. Bought other parts along the way which will come later on. then i thought it would be a good idea to put a silver top in there, it was i think but i lost the end caps for the block... uhggg so the new story starts here I have missed lots out but thats a medium run down on the poor girl. shes been neglected for the last couple of years and has really deteriorated. Some photos for interest, look ok here but a lot of rust repairs and panel and paint is required.
  3. So, as usual, I have another car to keep me busy (like I dont have enough already) Anyway, its a 1973 Corolla coupe, could be an sl, could be an sr, who really knows (because i sure dont). Bought it off trade me like, 6 months ago i guess, and has been in diffrent states of repair since then. Givian that i just sold my Datsun Ute, I needed a daily driver, so I hav started getting back into this one. Have fixed all the rust around the front chassis member, un the radiator, where they all rust, and am getting into getting the car all together again. So, its a little rough, but its all there, chrome, is all there and everything, but it looks like its had a bit of bog work in the past, and its been sitting since 2001, so great. looks rough, could be why I like it so much. Anyway.... The Plan. - Get wof, - Lower The whore, it rides like a piece, suspention is sagging on the drivers side, usual story. Have a mate with retensioned and lowered springs for rear, and can use other springs in the front with shortened shocks. - Buy flares - buy a bucket seat, the origainal one pisses me off so much, its all busted and blah, so a new bucket will make it feel mean - Buy 14 inch whels blanks of Cam, get some centers put in to match flaes and good off set. - Go racing, I want this kinda set up as a club / hill climb car, so that should be fun. this is all pretty much stage one. First thing first is sorting out the locks, the boot lock had been fucked with a screw driver, so I had to get bruttle and rip the old lock out, giving that, needed a new lock, so bought a set of Solex locks through repco, yay. so putting those in tomorrow Pics! Firstly, how it was looking at the start of todayish, semi re assebled, after doing the front rust, A lovely picture of what the back looks like, Nice boot! will get some paint on that one One crabby interior, Yum, cram seats and door cards, get that shit out of there, also, will be getting rid of carpet, because there is a leak somewhere, and the iside smells super bad and dirt like Mega rippin 3kb, yeah, respeck to the 87 horse power! need to run this puppy on high octane, high comp motor for the win, Solex locks, I like alot. For just a little peice of mind. And how it all looked after todays mish, So, tomorrow I will keep at it, and with some luck, be all wofed for the Friday, Discussion Here http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8873 Wicked' Seedy Al from Seedy Al's chop SHop
